Andy Muschietti was a curious choice for New Line when they first announced that he would be taking over the new adaptation of IT that was once so comfortably in the hands of Cary Fukunaga.

Okay, so a lot has happened along the road of a new adaptation of Stephen King’s IT. What was first going to be helmed by True Detective’s Cary Fukunaga eventually landed in the hands of Mama director Andy Muschietti.
